On the pink sand terrace of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel — the flamingo-pink Moorish fantasy opened in 1927 that became the first luxury resort in Waikiki and earned the name Pink Palace of the Pacific — the Mai Tai Bar is one of the most storied and most romantic outdoor bars in the world. Cold mai tais served on the hotel’s famous pink terraces with the Pacific Ocean and the Waikiki surf directly in front of you, Diamond Head to the left, and the extraordinary history of the hotel that hosted royalty, Hollywood stars, and presidents since 1927 surrounding every cold cocktail.
